A whole graduation video. The moments with your graduate.

How to make graduation video highlights

• Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM file up to 15 GB, or paste a YouTube link to a video you own or have permission to use.
• Confirm your email with a one-time code — there’s no password. Your upload keeps going while you do.
• KinCut scans the video on its own GPU and groups every face it finds. We email you when it’s done.
• Name the people you recognise and pick who belongs in the reel. KinCut gathers every moment they appear.
• Watch a free preview of the highlight reel and short clips. Unlock full quality when you’re happy.

A real example: one speaker in a long ceremony

Our demonstration starts with Belmont High School’s 2002 graduation: a recording lasting about 2 hours and 37 minutes. The scan returned 159 face groups. Selecting the class speaker led to a reel of five checked appearances during his speech and later at the podium.

The video above is a 55-second explanation of the workflow, with an excerpt of the reel. The scan is sped up and the interface is animated; it does not show the actual processing time.

Can it find a brief walk across the stage?

It can find appearances where the face is visible enough to match. A distant camera, side view, mortarboard shadow or a very brief appearance can make matching harder. Start with the original recording if you can and review the free preview before paying.

You can choose more than one face group if a person was split into separate groups. Other people who share the shot may remain visible; face selection does not blur them.

A school link or a recording of your own

Upload a file or use a YouTube recording you have permission to process. The video stays private to your account and is deleted with its face data 72 hours after processing. Only share the finished reel where you have permission to do so.
